New Approaches to Sidonius Apollinaris
Author: Gavin Kelly
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789042929289
Category : Gaul
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Sidonius Apollinaris is a central figure in the literature and history of fifth-century Gaul. But he still awaits sustained debate in modem scholarship. This integrated and international collection of essays explores the potential for a complete commentary on his works, starting with a retrospective on Sidonius scholarship up to the present, and then focusing in turn on his verse and his prose. The strangeness of his poetry triggers a critical contemporary assessment and a proposal for better understanding through the theory of Cultural Memory; there follow case studies of the panegyrics and of poems within the letters, and examinations of his intertextuality with Horace and Claudian. Research into Sidonius' prose is represented by two contrasting essays on the composition of the letter collection, by a demonstration of how Sidonius constructs history to create contemporary identity, and by a groundbreaking chapter applying text linguistics to the letters. An appendix fills a significant scholarly lacuna with Helga Kohler's indices to her commentary on Letters, Book 1 (Heidelberg, 1995). The present volume will be important for both literary and historical scholars of the late Roman world, for both Classicists and Medievalists. Book jacket.

Silius Italicus and the Tradition of the Roman Historical Epos
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004518517
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
The aim of this volume is to study Silius’ poem as an important step in the development of the Roman historical epic tradition. The Punica is analyzed as transitional segment between the beginnings of Roman literature in the Republican age (Naevius and Ennius) and Claudian’s panegyrical epic in late antiquity, shedding light on its ‘inclusiveness’ and its peculiar, internal dialectic between antiquarian taste and problematic actualization. This is an innovative attempt to connect epic poems and authors belonging to different ages, to frame the development of the literary genre, according to its specific aims and interests throughout the centuries.
